Father and son incinerated after ‘self-driving’ Tesla suddenly slammed into tree, lawsuit says
A beloved teenage honors student and his father were killed in a “self-driving” Tesla Model 3 that suddenly veered off the road without warning, slammed into a tree and then burst into flames, according to a wrongful death suit filed by the boy’s mother.
At the same time, the vehicle’s electric-powered door handles became inoperable once the battery system caught fire, preventing the two from getting out or rescuers getting in – a serious issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas – Shantorria Herring’s complaint alleges.
“Consequently, both occupants burned to death in the thermal runaway and fire that occurred after impact,” the complaint states.
As the two were traveling north on Highway 35 in Thomas County, the Model 3, which was reportedly in self-driving mode at the time, “abruptly departed the road, struck a tree and burst into flames,” the complaint says.
“The movement of the Tesla Model 3 occurred – according to the Tesla EDR records – as the ‘Accelerator Pedal (percent)’ went from 0.0 (with a speed of 63 mph) to 100.0 without any significant change in vehicle speed and without any reported ‘Service Brake’ recording,” according to the complaint.

Among the data records during the accidents according to the background data of the crashed vehicles or the data of on-vehicle terminals, the position values of most accelerator pedals were very high(99%) while the values of brake pedals were 0% or only non-zero in very limited moments (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
I'm begging all of you toNEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
This is where Tesla FSD gets really scary.
I was driving to work had Full Self-Driving on. The oncoming car passed, and the wheel started turning rapidly, driving into the ditch, and side-swiping the tree, and the car flipped over. I did not have any time to react
